Shadow Man Remastered (v1.0) [GOG]

Shadow Man Remastered — is an updated version of the 1999 adventure game based on the comic book from the American publisher Valiant. The remaster is produced by the award-winning Nightdive studio, bringing the hits of the past back to life. The team is known for its many re-releases and ports on the PC. Shadow Man Remastered takes place in the late 90s. Its main character is Michael Leroy, the last in a line of powerful voodoo warriors who protect the living from the dangers of the other side, the world of the dead. During the adventure, we will travel through the swamps of Louisiana, New York, a Texas prison and a mental hospital, pursuing dangerous subordinates of a mysterious man named Legion, who is preparing to bring apocalypse to the world. The story is based on comics about the adventures of a superhero named Shadowman, which began to appear in the early 90s.

Shadow Man: Remastered is a 3rd person adventure game. In addition to exploring a dozen 3D locations, solving a variety of puzzles and finding magical artifacts, we also fight many supernatural enemies such as zombies, skeletons and ghosts. In his arsenal, Michael Leroy has firearms and many mystical voodoo powers. During research, Leroy collects Dark Souls, which are needed to unlock further cards, and also finds small orange objects to expand the health bar. While playing, he also gains new abilities, helping him overcome selected obstacles. The game allows you to freely return to previously completed levels in order to explore all the nooks and crannies and check previously blocked roads. It’s worth noting that Nightdive decided to redefine and add elements and scenes that were removed from the original version for various reasons.

Shadow Man Remastered was developed in a similar way to other Nightdive remasters. The game is fully ported to the developer’s new proprietary graphics engine called KEX. However, the 3D game geometry and gameplay model have not changed. The developers presented many new products in the audiovisual field. These include dynamic lighting and shadows, anti-aliasing, advanced molecular effects, and HDR support. The textures, interface and soundtrack have also been improved. The game also supports the full range of the most popular screen resolutions, including 4K.
